Brielle's Avalon

I slept in and decided to share an orange with the Parrot. Looking up I spotted a few Ball jars, so instead of tossing the peels in the compost, at least not yet, I put them in a Ball jar, filled it half full with white vinegar and started making a batch of household spray cleaner. Being mostly vinegar I expect it should be good on windows, too…unless the citrus oil comes into play later. We’ll see.

At lunch I tossed in the 1/2 lemon I used. Later I added some thyme from the garden. Rosemary is a good herb to use as well. Keep adding citrus peels until it’s full and let stand a week or two.

After a couple weeks, using a funnel, strain it into a spray bottle.

Use it as you would any commercial spray cleaner.
